When our previous house was built, the electrician ran from the box to the two upstairs bath GFI plugs. Then, for some reason I didn’t comprehend, he went downstream of the plugs to wall outlets in the master suit and upstairs office area. Every now and then our master bedroom TV would be dead, and I’d have to go reset the outlet in our kids bathroom clear across the second floor.
We also found out that he ran downstream of a GFI in our garage to the plugs outside the house. So much for Christmas lights and electric WeedEaters.
Needless to say, we checked into all that when we had this house built.

You can run plugs and lights off (out) of a gfci to another room so that those plugs are then protected by the gfci. You just have to know that it is wired that way so if the gfci trips, you know to reset the gfci, rather than looking at the fuse box to find the problem.
